Oracle Cloud Object Storage

Oracle Cloud Object Storage exposes an S3-compatible API through namespace-specific compatibility endpoints. AeroFTP includes an Oracle Cloud preset so you can save those endpoints cleanly and reuse them like any other S3-compatible provider.

Why Use AeroFTP with Oracle Cloud

• desktop access to OCI object storage buckets through an S3-compatible workflow
• reusable saved profiles for repeated transfers and backup jobs
• compatibility with namespace-based Oracle endpoints that are awkward to retype manually
• one client for Oracle Cloud, AWS S3, Wasabi, R2, and other object storage services

What You Need

• your Oracle Customer Secret Key Access Key
• your Oracle Customer Secret Key Secret Key
• your bucket name
• your Object Storage namespace
• your Oracle Cloud region

Endpoint Format

Oracle Cloud uses this S3 compatibility endpoint format:

https://{namespace}.compat.objectstorage.{region}.oraclecloud.com

Example:

https://mycompany.compat.objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com

How to Connect

1. Open AeroFTP.
2. Select Oracle Cloud from the S3 provider presets.
3. Enter the Access Key created from Oracle customer secret keys.
4. Enter the matching Secret Key.
5. Enter your bucket name.
6. Build or paste the full namespace-based S3 endpoint.
7. Connect and save the profile.

Recommended Defaults

• use the Oracle Cloud preset instead of generic S3
• keep path-style access enabled
• paste the full compatibility endpoint, including your namespace and region
• make sure the endpoint region matches the bucket region exactly

Common Issues

Problem	Cause	Solution
Authentication failed	Using the wrong secret type	Use Oracle customer secret keys, not unrelated console credentials
Bucket not found	Wrong namespace or region in the endpoint	Rebuild the compatibility endpoint carefully
Signature mismatch	Endpoint or key pair is wrong	Verify both the namespace endpoint and key pair
Access denied	IAM policy does not allow Object Storage access	Check the OCI policy attached to the user or group
